Recipe: Miso Soup With Poached Egg

A Traditional Dish With A Twist

After living in Japan, I have truly come to believe that one of the secrets of the Japanese diet is miso soup. This common addition to every Japanese dish helps to boost digestion after meals, serves as a detox to the body and is low in fat and carbohydrates, but high in protein (just make sure to consume it with reduced salt). In addition to its health benefits, miso soup also makes you feel full for a longer period, which helps to reduce snacking between meals.

Here’s my simple miso soup with a bit of a twist which is perfect for breakfast, brunch, dinner — or maybe any time of the day!
